build cdebconf using 

./configure --with-frontend=text --with-db=rfc822db
--with-conffile=./cdebconf.conf

and just run make

then enter the src/test directory, copy ../cdebconf.conf to ., change
it to use ./templates.dat and ./questions.dat.  run
../debconf-loadtemplate foo $templatefile and then finally ../debconf
$configscript.
